O Simon, I was flashed on the 20th November in the Limehouse tunnel, it is now the 5th December, thats 15 days after the event, should the NIP arrive now I can return it with an accompanying letter of "late service" or should I get the postman to witness the opening of the mail and sign accordingly?.
Whose name is on the V5C ?

If yours, are the details correct and for how long ?

Without wishing to be a pompous killjoy, I now have camera's in my cars to record journeys and scanners to identify radar signals. Given that virtually everybody speeds at some time every day I think that this is now worthwhile and also reduces the scammer insurance tricks. This has significantly reduced my own tendency to speed which must surely be good.

My worst speeding offence (years ago)was 89.4 on a 30 limit. It was in a very recently rerated dual carriageway, but even so I would probably be banned nowadays. The magistrates were more lenient then and I had a very good barrister mitigating crime.

Nasty , todays courts would throw the book at you for that speed, it does make you more aware, my Rider did not work underground so no warnings.
I will remember that tunnel though.
